As the year draws to an end

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

We its the last show for us of the year this weekend….  Sandringham with Living Heritage. Hasn’t been a great year all in all, I think the Craft Circuit has definitely suffered because of the floods and Foot and Mouth.
There is still the question “have craft shows had their day?”, are they now seen as […]

Bad week/ Weekend
